Have Mercy

I was standing in line at the city bus stop

Soaked to the skin from heavy rain drop

I see you driving by just like a Phantom Jet

With your arm around some little Brunette

You say you won't be home because you're working late

Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date

The lipstick on your collar gives your game away

It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me

Well, I called you up on the telephone

I could hear you was playin' 'Haggard and Jones'

I knew right then that there was something wrong

There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah!

Aaww!

Well, I went up to the bank with my little check book

The cashier, he gave me the strangest look

He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn

Your man took it all and he's a done gone

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me

Aaww!

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, honey, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me

Aaww!
